The New Malden Town Centre Partnership (NMTCP) hosted a special evening to thank all their volunteers and supporters. GoodGym got a mention with a special thanks to Emily for her tireless support. Dani got all emotional when she presented Emily with a basket of treats - and so did we! Well done, Emily, for your effort and support for Jubilee Square.

Who needs spring for a good sort out?! A rainy weekend sent our GoodGymers rummaging through their wardrobes and drawers to see what they could part with. More room in the house, more stuff for charity - it's a win-win.

Goodgymers from Kingston and several other areas dropped off items for their local food bank to support people and families that need a little bit of help. Everything feels better when society works together.

A big January Challenge squad was out on a chilly night as we headed back to the British Heart Foundation shop for some more window dressing. Emily, Clare, Dave, Anna, Luke, Susannah, Jonathan, Eleanor, Amy, Laurel, Tom, Marcos and Rachel were quickly called into action by fetching sporting and gym items from the cavernous storage areas upstairs to hopefully encourage buyers to start thinking about fitness and exercise.

We got there in the end, with particular aesthetic guidance from Susannah and a final inspirational touch from Marcos to hang badminton racquets from the ceiling.

It's always a really fun task with the BHF and this was no different. A bit cold for too much running, but extra kudos to those who did.
